Based on a classic broadcast mic from the '60s, the Warm Audio Retro 64 is a cardioid dynamic microphone ideal for live applications like FOH vocals and instrument miking. With a noise-free humbucking dynamic capsule design, internal shockmount, and excellent off-axis rejection, this mic provides predictable results that avoid feedback and high-frequency squealing.

The Retro 64 emphasizes the sweet spot for vocals and acoustic instruments in the upper midrange while offering a gentle roll off of the high frequencies, ensuring your signals are easy for live engineers to work with. The internal shockmount reduces handling noises. This mic is well suited not only for vocals, but for acoustic guitar, electric instrument amp cabs, and drums. The retro aesthetics of this mic make it stand out on stage while providing the same durability of its inspiration, sporting a rugged hammer-like design. The Retro 64 includes a mic clip and an foam-filled EVA hard case.

FEATURES 

Retro Look with Stage-Ready Sound

The Retro 64 reimagines a classic broadcast-style dynamic microphone design from the 1960s and updates the sound profile for the modern stage. Delivering a unique combination of vintage styling with a trusted sound profile that rejects noise and feedback, Retro 64 delivers the kind of trusted, tried-and-true sound FOH engineers rely on night after night.

A Capsule Made for the Road

Retro 64 solves the two biggest problems with live vocal mics: trusted, mid-focused sound, and durability. Retro 64's capsule is tuned to hit the upper midrange just right, while rolling off enough highs to keep speakers from squealing—just like the most tried-and-true dynamic live mics. Inside the mic, an internal shockmount keeps the capsule safe for any live environment, mosh pits included.

Throwback Design, Rugged Construction

The Retro 64 external design is inspired by vintage broadcast mics known for their hammer-like durability, even allegedly strong enough to hammer nails into wood without harming the microphone. Modern construction methods ensure the Retro 64 can handle anything the road throws at it.
